Hello listers! I have a problem with a brand new SCSI drive that�s about to DRIVE me nuts! Ive been trying to get everything working for 2 days now. First I have a 7300 wth a G3 Powerlogix card, OS 9.2.2, 496 mb RAM and ATI video card.
I purchased a 9.1 gig Western Digital 80 pin SCSI drive, plus a 80 pin to 50 pin adaptor, and a copy of FWB Hard disk tool kit version 2.5.2. I've installed everything on SCSI bus 0 (drives ID is 0 ) , low level formatted the drive with FWB and attempted to install a multi gigabyte game on the drive. Whenever I get to the same certain point transferring files to the drive, the machine locks up and I'm unable to recover using Force Quit, thereby causing a reboot. After the restart, I checked the files on the new drive to see what installed. The size of the files on the disk are always the same 466.6 mb. I've ran TechTool Pro diagnostic on the drive including a surface scan and EVERYTHING checks out good. Ive also zapped the PRAM numerous times, and rebuilt the desktop. The problem still exists. Anyone out there have any ideas??? Thanks for your assistance J. Blanton Austin TX "F*** them if they can't take a joke!" J.R.
